One of the beautiful breaking waves off the coast of Shetland this summer. It's hard to ever tire of the simple pleasure of watching waves breaking. Holy Roller Novocaine is by Kings of Leon

The third rusty roller to make it into my photostream, this one in a field close to West Burnthills, which you can see among the trees in the distance :-)

Whilst these rollers are found in South Africa I've never seen them there so these two were a first for me. They were in the gardens of the hotel every morning along with the ubiquitous LBR's (Lilac Breasted Roller) who made a helluva racket chasing away the crows.
This was unfortunately the closest I could get to them and they never descended from the tree tops (at least whilst I was about).

I was delighted to find three European rollers (Coracias garrulus) in France last month, a bird I've only ever glimpsed from long distance before. Frustratingly however, they were always perched on high wires against a white sky, so very difficult to get an exposure that does justice to the exotic colours of their plumage, or the detail that a closer view would allow. This bird is I think perhaps a juvenile, as it seems to lack the blue head of the adults. Fun to watch them swooping down for large insects, lizards and so on, something like a cross between a jay and a massive shrike. Fingers crossed I'll get the opportunity to photograph them again, much closer and in favourable light

These beautiful Rollers were nesting in a cavity of a dead tree on a small island in the middle of the river.
They migrate towards Southern Africa in the local summer and can be found in riverine forest and adjacent savanna.

While driving on Highway 12, somewhere between Capitol Reef NP and Kodachrome Basin State Park, USA, I checked the rearview mirror and saw this scene that reminded me somehow of a roller coaster.
taken with fujifilm x-t1 and xf55-200 zoom leens.
As the temperature hits the mid 20s it's tee-shirt, sun screen and heat haze for this shot of Colas Tug 60056 tackling the roller coaster at Applehurst Junction with old friend 6E32, the 08.55 Preston Lanfina - Lindsey Refinery discharged bitumen tanks.
The hump in the background is where this freight-only route avoiding Doncaster, crosses the ECML.

I found these adorable roller skates the other day, so we went roller skating! Trexy created the poses again and did an awesome job!
L591 rolls north on the Mayville Sub with everyone's favorite geep, GMTX 2322. This Milwaukee Road branch once stretched all the way to Fon Du Lac, passing in close proximity to the legendary Byron Hill. In the WSOR days, it's simply a short branch to Mayville. However, the 7 mile line is packed full of interesting locations such as this one, where they traverse a roller-coaster-like profile by the trash dump south of Mayville.
I had intentions to come back in the Autumn to do this, but I never made good on those plans, leaving a pretty gaping hole in my coverage. A major regret of mine.
